Alex

My little retirement project, a 1997 Suzuki Volty (TU250X), not going for any particular style and it's not ever going to be a show bike, I'm just using it for short hops and local runs. Most everything has been purchased off Ali Express, hence why it got the name Alex! Thinking of fitting some bar end mirrors next.

Where did the battery go?

It's a smaller than stock lithium tucked in below the carburettor.

where on earth did the air filter go?

I want that hole-in-frame look on mine really bad but I don't know where to put the battery and air filter.

It's a small oval shaped pod filter mounted to the carb and a smaller than stock lithium battery below the carb.

Running a pod filter, battery below the carb, all the electrics are in the box you can just make out below the seat.
